just wanted to let you know that I’ve posted some notes on your presentation on my blog, I’ve translated parts of of your presentation and added some own thoughts, but still wanted to thank you for the engaging presentation about the flow! ;)

@Bru - I do reckon it could work in London. I’ve seen a few signs to ‘rent-a-desk’ as well as studios for freelancers around Hoxton, where I work. The main problem is the insane property prices in this town!

Another thought I had is that there are so many small web companies around here that are growing at an unpredictable rate, which might provide an opportunity. The company where I work has gone from 5 to 9 people in a year, and we have to keep an extra workstation or two available for occasional freelancers. What if we rented office spaces that were 25% - 33% too large for us and rented out those extra spaces for coworking? This would provide a stable core income for the coworking space, as well as growing room for the company. And, of course, the crucial office space for people interested in coworking.

This might make the balance of power too awkward though, like sharing a flat with a couple. But it also might be one of the safer ways to establish this kind of working arrangement in an area unfamiliar with the concept. I’m still new to this whole coworking idea, but I think it would be an interesting variation on the theme. At any rate, I’ll mention it to my boss then next time we have the ’should we move offices or stop growing?’ conversation.

Feel free to add comments or critics!

By the way, if I may be pedantic for a moment… Pecha Kucha is actually a much wider ‘movement’, referring to all kinds of presentations in the “20 slides, 20 seconds” format. delicious.salted.com is just one variation on the theme… It started out in the architecture world I believe, and it exists on the UK tech/geek scene in the shape of Ask Later Nights.
